Paper hearts and memories Broken notes in melodies Decorate my mind in black and blue Paper heart of deepest red Crumpled up beside my bed Time alone i think i've paid my due It's hard to tell you Why i ever let you get away And my time is running out... oh, babe Paper heart Just one regret something i can not forget Wasted time pretending i was cool Paper heart please understand Model planes and rubberbands Wound too tight my heart could snap in two Paper hearts and memories Broken notes in melodies Decorate my mind in black and blue
